The words are done in that mixed-size style where "It's my" sits at the top in smaller loopy script and "Birthday" sweeps across as the big blocky statement. There are decorative swirl ends and curls coming off the letters like they cant contain themselves. A long sideways eye with dramatic lashes sits on the right, sparkle star bursts scatter around it, and right at the bottom theres a red lip print sitting under the "B" in Birthday. Two colours total. Black for everything except the lips, which are that punchy crimson red.
Its a glam design, not a cutesy one. The lashes are directionally stitched so the individual lash lines show up, not just a blob. The sparkle stars are tiny four-pointed shapes with satin fill so they pop on light fabric. Wilcom did a nice job on the script swirls, the underlay is tight and the lettering doesnt pull even on the loopiest parts. Smallest size comes in at 7,600 stitches and biggest hits 18k, which is manageable for most home machines.
My sister turned 30 last year and I made her a black tee with this on the front. She wore it to brunch, sent me 3 photos of strangers asking where she got it. Since then I get regular orders from birthday girls wanting the same thing on matching tees for their friend groups.
Pop it on a white or light pink cotton tee and the black lettering goes bold. Works on cream satin for a fancier birthday sash vibe. Skip dark fabrics here, the black just disappears. Pair medium cutaway a stable knit jersey, or a light cutaway if youre doing stretch fabric. Drop the smallest 3-inch on a birthday card pouch as a lil accent.
Stitch it out slow on the lash detail section. Those directional fills need time. If anything looks off when you run it, Drop me a note on the listing and ill check the file right away. Drop me a chat if the file gives any trouble and Ill rework it.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
